How do I act slow (in a play)?
I need some advice. I am doing a scene from Of Mice and Men for my intro to acting class. I was casted as Lennie. My teacher said that I should try to play the character as more of a slow person, rather than one that is mentally retarded. I kinda came up with the idea of him being like a kid in a grown man's body, but I am wondering what else I can do. If you have some advice as to how to play the character, please feel free to give me advice.

Whenever another character speaks to your character, think about it as if it were something incredibly complex, as if it were answering one of the "great questions" of life. Pretend to think about each of the words you and other people say, and be slow to understand social boundaries which are normally considered common sense.
